Control, it’s all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession and that’s it. In ancient Rome they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept population busy with entertainment but other dictatorships used other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge… how do they do that? Lower education, they limit culture, censor information, they censor any means of individual expression and is important to remember this, that this is a pattern, that repeats itself through out history.

“But the horror? The horror was for love. The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you, maims you, twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love, and it makes monsters of us all.” - Crimson Peak (2015)
“I don’t want to come off as arrogant here, but I’m the greatest botanist on this planet.” - The Martian (2015)
“We spoke on the phone ‘bout a year ago. I remember your voice. When I heard it, I knew you’d show up. That you’d fuck shit up.” Tom at the Farm (2013) dir. Xavier Dolan
‘Mistress America’, Noah Baumbach (2015) I think I’m sick, and I don’t know if my ailment has a name. It’s just me sitting and staring at the internet or the television for long periods of time, interspersed by trying to not do that and then lying about what I’ve been doing. And then I’ll get so excited about something that the excitement overwhelms me and I can’t sleep or do anything and I just am in love with everything but can’t figure out how to make myself work in the world.
We are the 9,261 and we are spared! We’re spared! We are not spared. We are not safe. All this shit we’re walking around in here doing, it doesn’t matter! It doesn’t work! My daughter is gone! She departed.

“And why doesn’t anybody talk to you? I don’t care about people, so people don’t care about me, you know.”
Sometimes I think I have felt everything I’m ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I’m not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I’ve already felt.
Her (2013) dir. Spike Jonze
“You say that emotions are overrated, but that’s bullshit. Emotions are all we’ve got.”
Jane Fonda & Harvey Keitel
